How did you get home from the hospital?
It is a lucky thing I didn't have any weapons on the ride home from my gastric bypass because I'm sure my husband hit every pothole. I was ready to flip!

When I had my LBL I had a 2 hour ride home and used an SUV with pillows, drugs, and a puke bucket! It was a nice easy ride home. (Make sure the SUV has running boards or pack a step stool)
Earlier in the summer I had abdominoplasty and an inner thigh lift....there was no way I could have gotten into an SUV. I actually called my Mom and asked her to bring my little sports car. It was a lot easier to get into as I could push the seat back and there was no way I could pick up my leg to get into an SUV. Also I had a walker in order to get out of the car.

I may have had a few extra potholes along the way, but the journey has been good!

Change in plans on the transportation...I decided to hire a Medical Transport company. I figured since the hospital will be wheeling me out in a wheelchair, I might as well hire the professionals who are used to loading someone in a wheelchair and transporting them by van. Includes curb service. Best $85 I will probably spend!
